A space's presets catalog is a menu of presets that can be used by members when downloading files from the space or when creating derivatives.
The presets catalog organizes presets in categories.
The presets catalog of a space will inherit the presets and categories of its parent space. This automatic inheritance can be manually disabled by managers of a space.
